Maybe, but there’s something more horrifying when you’re reading a green text and it progressively. gets. worse.

Before you go go

I think he and his ilk would also be partial to Jeeps

Okay, the definition used for global 1% is so gross and unrealistic. People earning anything like that are definitely not “rich”. Being above extreme poverty is not “rich”. The only rich which matter are people making multimillion+ USD income per year through work or assets. Who do you think buys politicians and makes the law? It’s not the secretary in NYC earning $140K per year. Let’s be fucking for real, how do I take the rest of this article seriously if they’re this much their asshole?

My advice to writers who want to “win” for their pet politics: make sense at least. Otherwise you’ll get mad that someone called you out, and then you’ll just say they’re being a liberal or conservative, then you’ll be wrong twice. Pass the critical thinking test.

So he’s gonna learn that once you help entrench the powers of authoritarians, they’re not gonna care that you were once useful to them. You will slave away in their labor prisons, like many Chinese billionaires currently do once they stopped being useful. Authoritarians don’t care how much money you have, and people who hate protections which democratic nations confer to them, aka that “woke” shit, will get a wake up call when they find themselves not part of the in-group. Your race, money etc., nothing saves you then.

Westerners are easy to agitate because they live relatively cushy lives. I am not saying just because someone isn’t living in extreme poverty, they should be grateful. I am saying consider who is agitating you and why. More often than not, they just want to be the ones to control you, and hate that someone else is doing it instead. They don’t want what’s best for you.

A dramatic bitch (me) who needs crab rangoons certainly would

What an injustice /s

In a way, yes, but the key point of the scientific method is testing and validating hypotheses to confirm existing models or theories.

Everything can be questioned in a sensible way, but if you’re going against the grain of established mountains of evidence, then you have to work just as hard to provide counter evidence or proofs.

The burden on proof for fantastical claims is on the person or persons making it.
